As one of the highest homes in Scaly, overlooking Ford Mountain and Rabun Bald, this stunning modern farmhouse is the perfect blend of mountain charm and modern convenience. The open-concept floor plan is flooded with natural light, and the large windows offer breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The exterior and main level have been completely remodeled with a brand-new kitchen featuring top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and granite countertops. Both the primary and guest bedrooms are on the main level, along with the laundry. Downstairs, the large unfinished basement has the potential to double the home's square footage, with space for up to two additional bedrooms. The spacious garage has plenty of space for two cars and a workshop as well. Other notable features include a large backyard with a fire pit, a wrap-around covered porch, and an additional circular driveway. This home is in the quiet community of Scaly Mountain, NC, which is just 15 minutes to both Highlands, NC, and Clayton, GA. Enjoy all the Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer - hiking, waterfalls, shopping, adventures, and more!
